Contact Improvisation (CI)

This is an open-level workshop for anyone interested in exploring contact-improvisation from a somatic, perception-oriented perspective.

The classes focus on perception as a source for movement, pleasure and varied forms of dancing relationships. Explorative tasks sharpen perception, support new movement possibilities and refine improvisational skills. Exercises based on curiosity provide alternative strategies to the usual – and sometimes predictable – dancing patterns of contact improvisation.

Through the focus on the sensory experience I aim to create a pleasurable and relaxed room for discovery and real dancing adventure s.

2-3 hours is a good length of time for a class situation, whereas 5 hours is more appropriate for a workshop intensive. I find a mix of CI and Movement Research Studies or Feldenkrais also works well together
